The annual interest that can be earned through investment of an amount at a simple interest can be calculated through the equation,
I = P x (i)
where I is interest, P is the principal amount, and i is the decimal equivalent of the interest.
Let x be the amount deposited with 3.5% interest. With this representation, the amount deposited with 5.5% is 5800 - x.
The linear equation that would represent the given scenario is,
x(0.035) + (5800 - x)(0.055) = 283
Simplifying the equation,
0.035x + 319 - 0.055x = 283
Combining like terms,
-0.02x = -36
Dividing by -0.02,
x = 1800
$5800 - x = $5800 - $1800 = y
y = $4000
Hence, the value that should be deposited to the 5.5% is $40000.
If the question is asking what 36x78 is the answer is 2,808
Answer:
p=2
Step-by-step explanation:
-7p = -3p - 8
Add 3p to each side
-7p+3p = -3p+3p - 8
-4p = -8
Divide each side by -4
-4p/-4 = -8/-4
p = 2
Answer:
1st one, x=-1
2nd on, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
10 boys, 15 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls
let x be the scale factor of the ratio
2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1
Simplify: 2x+5=3x
Simplify: 5=x
plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15
Check: 10/15 = 2/3
10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1
